英语优化探究必修二第二单元作文英文回答：In unit 2 of the second year of the compulsory English optimization course, we focus on the theme of "Individuals and Society." This unit explores the complex relationship between individuals and the broader social and cultural contexts they inhabit. Students engage with a range of texts, including fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, that grapple with themes of conformity, individuality, and the search for identity.One of the key questions we explore in this unit is: To what extent should individuals conform to societal norms and expectations? Students examine both the benefits and drawbacks of conformity, considering how it can provide a sense of belonging and stability while also potentially stifling creativity and self-expression. We delve into the works of authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, who in "The Scarlet Letter" explores the consequences of socialostracism, and J.D. Salinger, whose novel "The Catcher in the Rye" follows the journey of a teenage boy grapplingwith the hypocrisy and conformity of society.Another central theme in this unit is the importance of individuality. Students discuss the concept of authenticity and explore how individuals can develop a strong sense of self while navigating the pressures and expectations of society. We examine the works of poets such as Walt Whitman, who celebrates individual expression and the uniqueness of each person, and Emily Dickinson, whose poems often explore the themes of isolation and nonconformity.Finally, this unit also explores the ways in which individuals can actively engage with and shape their societies. Students consider the role of activism, protest, and social change in promoting individual and collectivewell-being. We examine the works of historical figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., who led the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, and Malala Yousafzai, who advocates for the rights of girls to education.Throughout this unit, students develop their critical thinking skills and their ability to engage with complexand nuanced ideas. They learn to analyze and interprettexts from multiple perspectives, and they practice expressing their own opinions and ideas in a clear and persuasive manner.中文回答：在中学英语优化课程必修二第二单元中，我们聚焦于“个人与社会”主题的探究。
第一讲细节理解题A(2016·浙江大学附中高考全真模拟)Surprisingly，no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals，still less the content or quality of that education.Proper records are just not kept.We know that more than 850，000 children go through hospital each year，and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital.We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1，000 children in hospital.Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country.It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher.A further quarter have only a parttime teacher.The special children’s hospitals in maj or cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off.From this survey，one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hours a day.Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all.They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school.If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games.Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied，and the latter is often all the teachers can do.The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”．Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work.Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school.Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching，and are told to catch up as best as they can.Many shortstay childpatients catch up quickly.But schools do v ery little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.【解题导语】文章讲述了因病住院学生的教育问题，老师太少，无法保证学生的学习，作者对于这一现象很不满意。

推理判断题A(2020·北京东城区综合练习二)Hunger is the greatest motive for the inexperienced cook.But many people are now worried that we are producing a generation without the slightest idea of how to cook—a generation that is frightened to cook.I have just received a handout from Focus on Food，which is running a competition to get children back into the kitchen.Has television cooking become a replacement for the real thing？Is this an age where famous professional cooks have turned cooking into a sort of show，with dishes far too difficult for the beginner to copy?I decided to ask my oldest daughter，Miranda，for her opinion.Are children learning enough about the importance of good cooking？Do they know cooking is a basic life skill？Sociology and other “new” subjects are all very well，but without the ability to cook，or to understand the pleasure and principles of good food and its relationship to good health，are we really preparing them for adult life?Miranda started her cooking at the age of nine，when she decided to enter the Sainsbury’s Future Cook competition.She was motivated by a different kind of greed：the first prize—a trip to Disney World.The problem，from the parental point of view，was that if she made it through to the regional (区域性的) finals，she would have to cook her meal in front of the judges.Some 30，000 children entered and she made it through as the youngest regional finalist.Now she had to learn to cook.Her hands were not even big enough to hold the knife and slice the onions.Six Saturdays running we ate the same lunch—Mozzarella meatballs in fresh tomato juice and blueberry.First，she cooked by my side，then alone with timings and instructions.Finally，she went alone against the clock.The kitchen looked like a battlefield，but she had gained victory.The tiny be－capped figure then stood in an unknown Bristol hotel，looking like a professional who had been at the stove for years.She didn’t win，but she came home with ￡50 and the most valuable part of them all：confidence.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。
第三讲词义猜测题A(2015· 淮安市第二次调研测试)Fuel Cell Technology for CarsFill her up with hydrogen? That’s what some California motorists may be saying soon，as car makers try to speed up production of zero emission(零排放) cars to meet state requirements in the near future.Beneath the skin of this ordinary looking Hondas FCX Concept Vehicle sits an electrochemical reactor：a handbuilt，astronomically expensive power_plant known as a fuel cell.It’s expected to be running ordinary family cars on California’s roads within three years.So what exactly is a fuel cell，anyway? Why are governments，private businesses and academic institutions cooperating to develop and produce them? A fuel cell，very simply described，is a power generator，making electricity through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen.Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently，without pollution.Unlike power sources that use fossil fuels，the only byproducts from an operating fuel cell are heat and water.To be more technical about it，a hydrogen atom with its one electron，attempts to pass through a fuel cell membrane(膜) to unite with an oxygen atom.The membrane allows only the hydrogen proton(质子) to pass through，forcing its electron to run around the membrane to catch up with the proton on the other side.This creates electricity，water，and heat，but no exhaust emissions.If the fuel cell is powered with pure hydrogen，it has the potential to be up to 80percent efficient.That is，it turns 80 percent of the energy content of the hydrogen into electrical energy.However，we still need to turn the electrical energy into mechanical work.This is accomplished by the electric motor.A reasonable number for the ef ficiency of the motor is about 80 percent.So we have 80percent efficiency in generating electricity，and 80percent efficiency turning it into mechanical power.That gives an overall efficiency of about 64 percent.Honda’s FCX concept vehicle reportedly has 60percent energy efficiency，which is twice or even three times more efficient than usual cars.But in spite of all the advantages described above，experts say，“We still have technical challenges getting this extremely complex system to work properly，the way customers expect it to work.There are challenges in using new fuels，and providing the new fuel basic facilities.And before fuel cell vehicles hit the road，there will have to be a network of hydrogen stations that will allow drivers to fill up withthe flammable gas，under 36hundred pounds of pressure.”【解题导语】本文主要讲的是未来的新能源汽车的一些情况。

The First Settlement in North AmericaIt is very difficult to say just when colonization began. The first hundred y ears after Christopher Columbus’s journey of discovery in 1492 did not produce any settlement on the North America continent but rather some Spanish trading posts further south, a great interest in gold and adventure, and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part. John Cabot, originally from Genoa but a citizen of Venice, was established as a trader in Bristol, England, when he made a journey in 1497. But his ship, the Matthew, with its crew of eighteen, did no more than see an island (probably off the New England coast) and return home. He and his son made further voyages across the north Atlantic which enabled the English crown to claim a “legal” title to North America. But for a long time afterwardsthe Europeans’ interest in America was ma inly confined to theSpanish activities further south.The first beginning of permanent settlement in North Americawere nearly a hundred years after Columbus’s first voyage. TheEnglishman Sir Walter Raleigh claimed the whole of NorthAmerica for England, calling it Virginia. In 1585 he sent asmall group of people who landed in Roanoke Island, but theystayed only for a year and then went back to England with another expedition, led by Drake, in 1587. A second group who landedin 1587 had all disappeared when a further expedition arrivedin 1590.The first permanent settlement in North America was in 1670.English capitalists founded two Virginia companies, a southernone based in London and a northern one based in Bristol. It wasdecided to give the name New England to the northern area. Thefirst settlers in Virginia were little more than wage slavesto the company. All were men and the experiment was not very successful. Many died. Those who survived lived in miserable conditions. By 1619 the colony had only a thousand people.1.We know for sure that colonization began at the end of the15th century.( )A. RightB. WrongC. Not mentioned2.

The Operation of International AirlinesInternational airlines have rediscovered the businesstraveler, the man or woman who regularly jets from country tocountry as part of the job. This does not necessarily mean thatairlines ever abandoned their business travelers. Instead,companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would right argue thatthey have always catered best for the executive class passengers. But many airlines could be accused of concentratingtoo heavily in the recent past on attracting passengers byvolume, often at the expense of the regular traveler. Too often, they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality.Operating a major airline is essentially a matter of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their wide-bodied jets with low fare passengers, without forgetting that the front end should be filled with people who pay substantially more for their tickets.It is no coincidence that the two major airline bankruptcies were among the companies specializing in cheap flights. But low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable, and in the recent recession the volume of traffic has not grown. Equally the large number of airlines jostling for the available passengers has created a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat competition driving down fares had been to push some airlines into collapse and leave many others hovering on the brink.Against this grim background, it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly towards the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have invested much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.High on the list of priorities is punctuality; an executive’s time is money. In-flight service is another area where the airlines are jostling for the executive’s attention. The free drinks and headsets and better food are all part of the lure.Another development has been the accent of seating arrangements. Regular travelers have become well versed in the debate about seat pitch—the amount of room between each passenger. And first-class passengers are now offered sleeperette seats, which, for long journeys, make it possible to snatch a proper night’s sleep. Sleeperettes have proved so popular that they will soon become universal in the front end of most aircraft.The airlines are also trying to improve things on the ground. Executive lounges are commonplace and intended to make the inevitable waiting between flights a little more bearable. Luggage handing is being improved. Regrettably, there is little the airlines can do to speed up the boring immigration and Customs process, which manages to upset and frustrate passengers of all classes in every continent.Although it is the airlines’ intention to attract executivepassengers from their rivals, the airlines themselves would nonetheless like to change one bad habit of this kind of traveler—the expensive habit of booking a flight and then failing to turn up. The practice id particularly widespread in Europe, where businessmen frequently book return journeys home one on several flights.11. According to the passage, in operating airlines it is essential to _____.A. keep in mind the need of the executives onlyB. satisfy the need of the low fare passengers at the expenseof the executivesC. try to attract as many passengers as possible by reducingfaresD. cater to the need of passengers sitting at both ends ofthe jets12. The following are all mentioned as reasons why the airlinesare having a hard time EXCEPT that __________.A. the tourist industry is experiencing an all-time lowB. there is no increase in the number of passengersC. there are more seats on the planes than neededD. the competition between airlines is strong13. The improvements the airlines attempt at include all thefollowing EXCEPT ___________.A. making their seats more comfortableB. providing better food during flightsC. showing more movies during the long flightsD. offering sleeperettes to first-class passengers14. There is not much the airlines can do when it comes to _________.A. making sure the departures are not delayedB. the efficient handing procedureC. speeding up customs procedureD. the improvement of the condition of waiting lounges15. Which of the following is a bad habit of the executivepassengers that frustrates the airlinesA. They do not book their seats in advance.B. They do not sit on the seats they are supposed to take.C. They do not travel on the flight they have booked.D. They do not pay in advance for the seats they book.第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子（第16 ~ 25题，每题 1 分，共 10 分）阅读下面短文。
